Not content with shredding nerves worldwide with their film Uncut Gems, the Safdie Brothers have taken aim at the unsettle-gland (shut up, it's probably a thing) with their latest music video.
Using a channel-hopping retro aesthetic and a deliberately anachronistic nostalgic view, Lost But Never Alone, for musician Oneohtrix Point Never, is a surreal and dizzying journey through the kind of yesteryear we're glad we never lived.
Relentlessly unsettling, and with a moment of on-screen iPhone brutality which knocks you off kilter, the challenging visuals paired with the track's disquieting vibe makes for an artful trial to which a killer guitar solo at the end of our only saviour. And that's a recommendation.
